Dave you shouldnt take zyprexa for anxiety. Its not a correct use of anti-psychotics. There are many other medications effective for anxiety which dont carry the potential side effects and risks zyprexa carries. Like benzos, buspar, neurontin, beta blockers and yes, MAOIs. MAOIs by themselves are probably some of the single most effective meds for anxiety. Nardil in particular is very effective for anxiety problems.
You probably wouldnt need zyprexa with an MAOI.
